When a new user launches the Aptify Desktop client, the Shortcut Bar is shown by default, and it is always visible on the Aptify Desktop. A user can change the location and/or position of the Shortcut Bar as desired.

The following sections describe how to show and hide the Shortcut Bar:

• Hiding the Shortcut Bar
• Showing the Shortcut Bar
• Automatically Hiding the Shortcut Bar
• Changing the Location of the Shortcut Bar

Hiding the Shortcut Bar

To hide the Shortcut Bar so that it does not appear on the Desktop client, select the Aptify Button > Shortcuts menu item. 

Showing the Shortcut Bar

If the Shortcut Bar is currently hidden, select the Aptify Button > Shortcuts menu item to add it back to the Desktop client.

Automatically Hiding the Shortcut Bar

By default, the Shortcut Bar is always visible on the Aptify Desktop c;oemt. However, you can enable the auto hide feature to hide it when not in use.

To enable auto hide, click the pin icon in the Shortcut Bar's caption area. To disable the auto hide functionality, click the pin icon again, and the Folder List will remain on the desktop. Alternatively, you can toggle the Auto Hide option that appears in the pop-up menu when you right-click within the Shortcuts heading.

When auto hide is enabled, the Shortcut Bar collapses to the left-side of the window when not in use.. To expand the Shortcut Bar, hold your cursor over the Shortcuts heading. To collapse it again, hold your cursor over another section of the Aptify Desktop client (for example, hold the cursor over or click within the main Display Window).

Changing the Location of the Shortcut Bar

When Auto Hide is disabled, you can drag the Shortcut Bar to a new location on the Desktop client, as desired.

Follow these steps:

1. Click and hold your mouse cursor in the Shortcut Bar's caption area.
2. While holding down the mouse button, drag the Shortcut Bar to a new location.
   • The Shortcut Bar appears as a gray outline when moving it to a new location.
     

 
You can move the Shortcut Bar to a new location on the Desktop client (such as across the top, similar to what is shown for the Folder List in the example. You can have it float in its own window outside of the Aptify Desktop (similar to what is shown for the Folder List), or you can add it to same area as the Folder List.
